The President of the National Urban League warns five years after George Floyd's death of setbacks of racial justice

Marc Morial President of the National Urban League appeared on CNN this morning To think about the progress and challenges in racial justice since the murder of George Floyd in 2020. In an interview with Anchor Audie Cornish, Morial dealt with the feedback on the reform efforts of the police and the decline in the diversity of the company.

Morial was concerned about efforts to take the consent of the states with local police authorities in Anneer and described the movements politically and counterproductive. “It has nothing to do with quality police. It has nothing to do with the constitution,” he said. He found that considerable progress was made during the bid administration -including the investigation of a dozen police stations and the conviction of 180 officers -that the dynamics are now in danger of reversal.

In the company front, Morial described the withdrawal of diversity, justice and inclusion programs (Dei) as “almost insulting”. Nevertheless, he praised executives like Jamie Dimon by JPmorgan Chase, the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and companies such as Apple and Costco for their obligations. “Equal opportunities is important for my company, my customers and the nation,” he said, repeating her attitude.

Morial emphasized that the majority of the Americans continue to support them despite the loud opposition to the initiatives. He asked the continued vigilance and action and said: “We cannot allow the heading to be the only story at that moment. This conversation continues.”

The US wholesale trade prices fell unexpectedly in April for the first time in more than a year

Wholesale prices in the United States decreased for the first time in over a year last month, although they were entertained Trump tariffs for imported goods. On Thursday, the US Ministry of Labor reported that the producer price index, which measures inflation on wholesale, was reducing 0.5% in March, but remained 2.4% higher than in April 2024.

The core prices in wholesale, without the volatile food and energy costs, were 0.4% compared to March and rose by 3.1% compared to the same period in the previous year. Economists expected a slight increase in producer prices for the month, but a decline in service costs by 0.7% was a reason for the decline.

In the meantime, consumer prices in April increased by 2.3%compared to the previous year, which has been the lowest increase in the previous year in more than four years. Although some economists predict that Trump's tariffs are driving up the prices, most of them will expect the inflation pressure in June or July to become clearer.
